It's okay. It's okay to feel this way. I feel this way. The losses are more important than the wins at this stage. You take the positives (Wolf, Zary, Coronato development), and just embrace the losses as they pile up.
Tonight would be an awesome loss too. A loss to the maligned Predators right before going up against Tampa, Florida, and Boston? Could get on a much needed losing streak here. Being a good few points back/in the bottom-10 before the end of the year would be a great thing to see.

Don’t really care about wins anymore I just want to see an entertaining game with full effort. Nothing worse as a fan to watch than a team that doesn’t put in a good nights work.

What else can Huska do? This roster has very limited talent. Given the lack of star power, he’s coached with pretty good results. Coaching is far down the list of things that need fixing.

We will lose in OT tonight and go on a 3-game winning streak right after. This is the Flames way.

Agreed. Diss has a hate on for Huska ever since he ... [insert offence here].
I am far from a systems analyst, but I have to believe that the fact this team is performing well above its weight this season, and performing better than last season despite multiple high-profile departures, is in large part due to Huska.
He seems to have an even keel, have the respect of the players, and has them playing cohesive hockey that highlights the sum of their parts. I think he is a great coach for right now, and perhaps the future.

Lose again tonight, let's tank. Win tonight and score 4 goals in the process, let's stay on the 'rebuild whilst staying in playoff spot' train.
For me, tonights game is a turning point either way.

Employ a South/West system with creativity that compliments your roster? Actually have a fn clue when it comes to player usage and line combos? The only reason he got this job is either he is such a good talker that he fed Conroy a platter of bs and he bought it or he is just a placeholder for a tank and will be let go after. Look at this guys record as a head coach at the pro level and explain what makes you think this guy can win hockey games? I know I know, but he is a nice guy who is a likeable person though. People need to stop buying into Pat Steinberg logic where it doesn't matter how good a guy is at his job, I like him so I am rooting for him.

First - I would think most Flames fans would root for the coach of the team. It is frankly odd to have such a hate on the guy that you actually hoping he fails.
Second - It is a massive assumption to assume that people think he's a good coach because he's "nice". There are other reasons to believe he's a good coach primarily his impact on developing dmen, and the record of the team thus far this season.

Huska's been okay. That said, I'd love to see him grow the longer he's with this team like Mark Daigneault of OKC (NBA).

Huska is the second worst coach? That's a bold statement and he's nowhere near as bad as some of the bad ones that bungled decent rosters.

Huska is doing a decent job with a bad team.
Many coaches here have done bad with good teams.

It's December 10th and a win tonight would put this roster in a divisional playoff spot. One point behind the "cup favourites" Oilers, Avs, and Canucks (compare rosters)
Yet somehow this coach is terrible? Like historically bad?
lol, not even sure what to say...probably best I just leave it

Risebrough took a team that won the cup a three years earlier to the 7th worst winning percentage in franchise history.
I actually think some pretty mediocre coaches have done very well with good teams too. Crisp won a cup and he was not a great coach IMO.
I think the Flames have only ever had two top notch coaches (and one of them lost his mojo).
Huska's winning percentage this season is almost in the dead centre of the Flames' historical performances.

That's a tough way to start your argument - I don't think there are many people who would agree that this roster is more suited to a wide-open, east/west style of game. Would it be good for Huberdeau? Almost certainly. Would it result in more scoring? Probably. But if this team opened it up, they would give up far more offensive chances than they would create, IMO. This isn't a team that can outscore the opposition, it's only hope is to play a low event game and try to win some one-goal games.
